Amylee Silva

Some people stumble in to a life of travel; I on the other hand was born in to it. I was 1 year old the first time I sat on plane, and I was five when I first flew by myself. Since then I have been on over 120 flights, 5 continents and 23 countries. I have travelled for business, pleasure, with friends, family, and with out; on organized tours and then sometimes just travelled on a whim. Some people work to live, others live to work, but I live to travel.

After college, I strapped on a backpack to gain some real life experience. In Peru, my life forever changed, and I fell in love with adventure travel. I’ve ventured over the Tibetan Plateau, through the Nepali Himalayas, across the deserts of India and the Middle East, beach hopped through Sri Lanka and eaten my way through Italy, France and Spain.

Jodi Ettenberg

Hello! My name is Jodi and I’m a former lawyer currently traveling (and eating) my way around the world, one country at a time. I don’t tend to have a set plan or bucket list of things I want to see or place I need to enjoy. Instead, I’ve found myself organically moving from one place to the next based on a food recommendation or a fellow traveler’s enthusiasm for a city somewhere far away.
